The ΔAK counterstamp is almost always found applied to the end of the obverse legend. It presumably was applied shortly after Trajan's assumption of the title Dacicus in late 102 AD. This is one of the few issues in the provincial series that actually spells out the name of the Province, in this case Ionia.

The legend on the reverse of this issue is difficult to interpret given the number of ligate forms, but the ethnic in the exergue is fairly certain. There also appears to be part of the legend within the two columns of the temple on the left. Extremely rare and interesting.
